Abstract: An apparatus for updating an operation plan of a high-temperature component based on operation performance. The apparatus includes: a display unit which displays an operation plan of multiple high-temperature components which are mounted upon a device; a storage unit which stores, for each device, at least initial setting data including information regarding operation start times of the high-temperature components and scheduled times for carrying out periodic inspections of the high-temperature components; an operation plan creation unit which, using the initial setting data, generates data of the operation plan including operation intervals of the high-temperature components from the operation start times to the scheduled times for carrying out the periodic inspections, and stores same in the storage unit for each device; and an operation plan update unit which updates the operation plan data which is displayed on the display unit, based on the high-temperature component operation performance information.

Abstract: An operation plan preparation and evaluation device including a storage unit for storing master data related to equipment and a component, transaction data related to the equipment and the component generated when an operation plan is prepared, and an initial parameter used when the operation plan is prepared, and a control unit for preparing the operation plan based on the master data, the transaction data, and the initial parameter, in which the control unit performs a factor setting process of assigning a predetermined set value as the initial parameter, an operation plan preparation process of preparing the operation plan based on the initial parameter serving as the set value, the master data, and the transaction data, and an operation plan evaluation process of evaluating a plurality of respective operation plans prepared by repeatedly performing the operation plan preparation process while varying the initial parameter, and deriving an optimum operation plan.

Abstract: In order to predict demand, in a demand prediction computing unit (100) a dealer demand prediction computing unit (200) predicts a demand for a dealer, a corporation demand prediction computing unit (300) predicts a demand for a corporation, and a totaling unit (400) totals the predicted demand for the dealer and the predicted demand for the corporation, predicting thereby an aggregate demand. The dealer demand prediction computing unit (200) takes the attribute of the dealer into account and predicts the demand, and the corporation demand prediction computing unit (300) takes the attribute of the corporation into account and predicts the demand. In this manner the attribute of a demander (customer) is taken into account and demand is predicted, and therefore the prediction accuracy is improved.

Abstract: A production facility, which can produce a product efficiently while saving the space of the facility, is disclosed. The production facility comprises: a plurality of machine tools 31, 32, 33, 34 for machining a workpiece 11; a conveyor 16 for conveying the workpiece 11; and a controller 41 for controlling the machine tools 31, 32, 33, 34 and the conveyor 16. Each of the machine tools 31, 32, 33, 34 has a function of performing machining of its own process, machining of a preceding process, and machining of a succeeding process on the workpiece. The controller 41 controls the machine tools 31, 32, 33, 34 and the conveyor 16 so as to perform the machining of the respective processes continuously on the workpiece 11 in accordance with a status of machining of the workpiece 11 by the plurality of machine tools 31, 32, 33, 34.
